Narrative:
Aircraft X was shipped to me from boi approach climbing to FL120; requesting FL350. The LOA with boi approach dictates the aircraft shall be climbing to 160 or the requested altitude; whichever is lower. The new boi airspace test (16;000 feet and 40 miles) has not met a single published passing mark since its inception. This includes both this most recent test and the test two years ago. How many failed tests are we going to run? Are we just waiting for someone to die because boi approach wants to increase its traffic count? I'd be interested to see how many reports have been submitted by our airspace department in regards to the boi test. Although they are not required to file reports; if they truly were in the business of safety; I'm sure you would see the dozens of problems every week we are encountering.
